Best Samsung Phone: Samsung Galaxy S10
Like it or not but Samsung still remains the clear market leader for Android phones. For many, Samsung runs in a different league from normal android phones. Whilst newcomers will likely be annoyed by the differences between Samsung’s One UI and stock android, the Samsung loyalists will love it as a largely iterative improvement over the original S10. In particular, Samsung’s new processor is made using the new 7nm LPP process and what that means for you is that it’s faster than the old processors and somehow actually uses less power.
